We have quite a few squirrels
in my neighborhood.
They LOVE to dig up
certain Spring bulbs.
In the past
I would wage war against them,
trying to save
my tulip bulbs.
I’d place wire mesh
over the ground.
I would drip hot sauce
or cinnamon or cut human hair
or…
over the soil.
I would try numerous ways
to stop the squirrels
from digging up the tulip bulbs.
Nothing worked
and I would become
extremely frustrated.
Now, I simply plant daffodil bulbs.
The squirrels leave those bulbs alone.
They dig elsewhere,
aerating our lawn.
And I enjoy the Spring flowers
with no stress.
It is much easier
to work WITH your current environment,
not against it.
(And your current environment
could be customer expectations,
industry norms,
the political situation,
etc.)
